About Gevo
Gevo’s mission is to transform renewable energy and carbon into
energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons. These liquid hydrocarbons can be
used for drop-in transportation fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel
and diesel fuel, that when burned have potential to yield net-zero
greenhouse gas emissions when measured across the full life cycle
of the products. Gevo uses low-carbon renewable resource-based
carbohydrates as raw materials, and is in an advanced state of
developing renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use
in production processes, resulting in low-carbon fuels with
substantially reduced carbon intensity (the level of greenhouse gas
emissions compared to standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across
their life cycle). Gevo’s products perform as well or better than
traditional fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but
with substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to
addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo’s technology also enables
certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more
sustainable ingredients. Gevo’s ability to penetrate the growing
low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value
of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase
greenhouse gas emissions. Gevo believes that its proven, patented
technology enabling the use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable
feedstocks to produce price-competitive low-carbon products such as
gasoline components, jet fuel and diesel fuel yields the potential
to generate project and corporate returns that justify the
build-out of a multi-billion-dollar business.
Gevo believes that the Argonne National Laboratory GREET model
is the best available standard of scientific-based measurement for
life cycle inventory or LCI.
